Deceptive Mommy

You know those days where your toddler refuses to eat ANYTHING remotely healthy? I think the only thing keeping Diva alive this past week is yogurt and milk. Not exaggerating. Oh yeah and cookies. Trust me, I keep my house stocked with healthy foods but this girl has refused it all.

So on days or in this case...nights like these I whip up my trusty Mommy Shake. (Wow that sounds kind of....weird?) Anyway it never....ever fails. She downs the thing like it's a chocolate milk shake. Here is what I throw in there:

I'm glad my child isn't the only child that can be picky when he wants. Seriously he won't eat anything healthy, but he drinks the V8 fruit fusions 24-7 so I guess he is getting all his fruits and veggies through a drink! I agreed with you on Chels' blog about the car seats. I love our Britax!

Smoothies are one of the only ways I can get something besides carbs in Luke. Glad my niece is being fed such healthy fare.

Oh, and aren't those tortillas good? I make them a lot. They can make an ordinary meal, like quesadillas, really good. Last time we just had them with refried beans. I just try not to think about the partially hydrogenated vegetable oil in the shortening. Wish there was an alternative for that.

I was going to write this exact post, down to the spinach shake thing a few days ago. But now if I do it, it's going to look like I straight up copied, lol. But seriously. Spinach smoothies are the only thing making me feel like my kids are eating healthily right now. They are refusing EVERYTHING. Can you tell I'm frustrated?

Sounds yummy! I will have to try this one. I wish someone would make me a mommy shake....actually I wish someone would make me anything to eat. I have yet to acquire the I love cooking gene. Maybe next year?!
